I know most have stated what they are going to play in another thread, but 4-5 pages is a lot to filter through and I'm a visual kind of guy so i thought i'd make a poll. That way we can see how many people are planning on starting off with which race. It might persuade people to play a different one if more are playing it etc. plus it will give me a reason to try out the poll feature on this site.

How about a profession one too?
With check boxes instead of radio button so that jade can select all professions ;p

yeah it would be nice to really see what the make up of our guild will be, and might help those who are still not sure which profession to roll

I just looked at our polling options and we can make a poll and give everyone the option to pick two choices, so we could have everyone pick their race and profession. That will give us a good breakdown on our spread across both races and professions but won't tell us the professions inside the races. I would need 40 choices (8 profs x 5 races) to understand the race / prof relationship spread and these forums only give me a max of 35... Would remaking this poll and allowing everyone to pick both a race an profession do the trick?

I was joking about the multiple profession choices just a radio button poll of the 8 types might be useful for some still on the fence and looking to fill a hole... (that's what she said)

Well I thought about that but figured it was too many options ( was thinking option 1 Human Engineer, 2 human thief, etc but that is a lot of options). I don't see a way to edit the poll, so I'd have to make a new one all together. I might just start another thread with professions.

I think another for Profs would work just fine. Less hassle.

Norn get to turn into bears... nuff said... I don't think the Charr race specific elites are quite as cool as shapeshifting. Personally, I prefer the Norn better as I've always been into the viking / norse characters and style. I like the Charr a lot too but I personally don't relate with them as much as Norn. If you want to roll your first toon as a Charr, I'd do it. I'd roll with what strikes your fancy the most and have a blast with it. Norn will always be waiting for an alt...

In the BWEs I only got a chance to play as a Norn and Sylvari. Must say, I didn't enjoy the Sylvari much at all. Too much like Ferngully. I'll be sticking with the Norn for my main.

i only briefly played the sylvari, not crazy about the whole leaf people lol but i liked the beginings of their personal story was pretty interesting, the whole conflict with the nightmare cor. but i really like the internal conflict the charr have with not having a true leader and different legions vying for power

I think I'm going to be playing as an Asura. Their love for magic and intellect fits the mesmer well, and I dig the idea of a small character who uses trickery and illusions to get by in combat.
Edited: I have a bad habit of calling the Asura, "Asari". I don't know why.
